I took a piss next to Mark Lamarr at the 100 Club once. Yes, it was.

Maybe. They were in my city (Vancouver) at the time, recording and going about town. The guy I saw had lyric sheets in his hand that he was presumably going to be making copies of. Nope, it was him. I don't know why I remember him being tall. Maybe there was an incline going down to the front entrance of the copy place. In any case, you live in Athens, so you know of which you Stipe.

How did they react ? (aside from not tipping)

Katherine Helmond, right? "Who's the Boss", "Soap". Yup, that's her. Totally my uncle's cousin. He got a photo of her on his mantle. I never met her. Used to pretend I knew her when I was about 9. The pussy that got me, lordy.

So now you don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't hurt to try ?

I taught Jason Pierce how to DJ.

I've been told that at least one of my testicles should re-emerge within the next year or so.

I passed Billy Boyd on the streets of Glasgow once. He has a friend smaller than he is.

I also met Lee Majors at Toys R Us around 1977. But it was not technically a "brush with fame". He was scheduled to appear. And being a card carrying member of the Six Million Dollar Man Bionic Action Fan Club, I knew he was to be there and I had planned to go for weeks.
He shook my hand and said "howyadoin?"
